UK will cancel a planned rise in motor fuel tax, PM says
LONDON, May 20 (Reuters) - Britain will cancel a planned rise in tax on motor fuel, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Wednesday, part of government efforts to ease cost-of-living pressures driven in part by the Middle East conflict.
A 5 pence-per-litre cut to fuel duty, which was due to expire in September, will now be extended until the rest of the year, he told parliament. He also said the government would give hauliers a 12-month road tax holiday.
